It's been an hour since their arrival, and the place was starting to gain its halloween glory with every arrangement made.

It cost a lot of magic, but what mattered to [y/n] was that everyone could take part in decorating and that everything looked stunning before the end of October. They've only been able to produce less than half of what the place needed, but there was no need to rush! Thirty minutes were spent on planning where to put the current interiors, while the next set was the time they started working.

Charmy, done with her part, was currently in the kitchen flipping through the pages of her cook book. She was clearly trying to look for a recipe everyone would like and be fitting for the occasion. Vanessa and Noelle, along with Grey were customizing the creepy statues with Gordon's help, the man was quite the expert for these kinds of things.

Marie ringed Gauche so he sat out for a while. Zora was currently on a mission. Luck and Magna were the ones that moved interiors and carried carton boxes filled with items Asta and [y/n] could use.

"You don't know how ecstatic I became when I saw you're letter! Your awful handwriting that made out sentences regarding your invitation really brightened my day!" beamed [y/n], who thanked Magna for bringing him more decor after his talk.

"I'm glad you could come, [y/n]. I was afraid you'd be too busy helping everyone back at the village."

[y/n] chuckled lightly. "It's not like I'm the only one helping the village. And I promised that I'd be by your side whenever you need anything, right?"

"Yeah.." Asta scraped with his nail and removed the cover that concealed the sticky part of a black bat, and he slammed it on the wall.

"Careful. The wall might break."

"Hoho, wait till you see captain Yami!"

"Did he actually punch a gigantic hole through the wall on your first day here?"

"Yeah, he did! And the bricks just glowed and put themselves on their proper places!" Asta quipped, "This is because of Henry! He makes sure this place stays intact."

"This whole place? He's able to take care of this enormous base?!"

The smile on Asta's face widened at the mixed emotions present on his face. Surprise, doubt, excitement!—they all swirled and conjured up the face [y/n] currently had, and it was priceless.
Like every other expression he makes.

"I kind of..
want to test it out now."

The bull's eyes widened at the clay that surrounded his arm whole, and the mixture was thick and dried quickly because it's nature was on [y/n]'s command. The village boy sent a cheeky smile Asta's way, and his grin's ends lifted higher at each shake his friend's head made.

"I'm joking! Christ.. Don't want to be beheaded by your leader on the day before Halloween now, do I?"

"If that does happen then you'll make a fine ornament."

Asta chortled at the harsh nudge [y/n]'s shoulder gave. "Dude!"

"I called you 'fine'. Take the compliment."
